| | | Engine Detailing
Well, I have searched yet could not find anything specific. I just viewed Justin's detail of the Toyota Sequia and what a job he did on that engine. Is there a write up on engine detailing. |

| | | On the same note, when you spray down the engine, what are the parts besides the Air Filter do you need to cover up? Also, what should use to cover them up? |

| | | coils .... distributors .... air intakes. DP makes a nice new engine cleaner, but I only use the wet towel and wipe down method. You pay for an Opti-spark unit once,and you learn a valuable lesson. |

| | | Only part I cover is my custom intake on my truck and don't want water to be sucked in. Otherwise, APC/Degreaser and I use a hose on medium mist, never have any troubles. Hard on my truck to do alot with just a towel as Ford has that V8 crammed in the bay lol. But I do the same for all our other vehicles.
Just does something similar to me I believe, after a good cleaning, I just use Armor All Tire Foam, let sit, and hose down, cleans and protects and leaves a nice black finish. I doa lot of driving and especially if I'm going to the lake or anything, the engine bay will get dirty.

| | | Let me tell you, I have never covered a single item in any engine bay to date. I have not had on check engine light either. The reason: a pressure washer is 75% air. This keeps the engine from being drenched and causing standing water in vital areas. Of course, like driving with a perfect record, an accident can occur at any time.......even with precautions. |
